          Section 1.

          (a)  The number of directors which shall constitute the whole board 
shall be not less than three. The first board shall consist of three 
directors. Thereafter, within the limits above specified, the number of

Class I, and if such fraction is two-thirds, one of the extra directors shall 
be a member of Class I and one of the extra directors shall be a member of

          (c)  Each director shall serve for a term ending on the date of the 
third annual meeting following the annual meeting at which such director was

term ending on the date of the annual meeting next following the end of the 
corporation's fiscal year ending December 31, 1997; each initial director in

year ending December 31, 1999; provided further, that the term of each 
director shall continue until the election and qualification of his successor 
and shall be subject to his earlier death, resignation or removal.

          Section 2.

          (a)  In the event of any increase or decrease in the authorized 
number of directors, (i) each director then serving as such shall 
nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which he is a member 
until the expiration of his current term, subject to his earlier death, 
resignation or removal, and (ii) the newly created or eliminated 
directorships resulting from such increase or decrease shall be apportioned 
by the board of directors among the three classes of directors in accordance 
with the provisions of Article III, Section 1.

          (b)  Unless and until filled by the stockholders, any vacancy in 
the board of directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from 
the enlargement of the board, may be filled by a vote of a majority of the 
directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining 
director. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected to hold 
office until the next election of the class for which such director shall 
have been chosen, subject to the election and qualification of his successor 
and to his earlier death, resignation or removal.

Section 3.  The business of the corporation shall be managed by or under the 
direction of its board of directors which may exercise all such powers of the 
corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or 
by the certificate of incorporation or by these by-laws directed or required 
to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 4.  The board of directors of the corporation may hold meetings, both 
regular and special, either within or without the State of Delaware.

Section 5.  The first meeting of each newly elected board of directors shall 
be held at such time and place as shall be fixed by the vote of the 
stockholders at the annual meeting and no notice of such meeting shall be 
necessary to the newly elected directors in order legally to constitute the 
meeting, provided a quorum shall be present. In the event of the 

<PAGE>

failure of the stockholders to fix the time or place of such first meeting of 
the newly elected board of directors, or in the event such meeting is not 
held at the time and place so fixed by the stockholders, the meeting may be 
held at such time and place as shall be specified in a notice given as 
hereinafter provided for special meetings of the board of directors, or as 
shall be specified in a written waiver signed by all of the directors.

Section 6.  Regular meetings of the board of directors may be held without

the board consists of only one director; in which case special meetings shall 
be called by the president or secretary in like manner and on like notice on 
the written request of the sole director.

Section 8.  A majority of the total number of directors then in office shall 
constitute a quorum at all meetings of the board of directors. In the event 
one or more of the directors shall be disqualified to vote at any meeting, 
then the required quorum shall be reduced by one for each such director so 
disqualified; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no case shall less than one-third of 
the number of directors fixed pursuant to Article III, Section 1 constitute a 
quorum. If at any meeting of the board of directors there shall be less than 
such a quorum, a majority of those present may adjourn the meeting from time 
to time. Every act or decision done or made by a majority of the directors 
present at a meeting duly held at which a quorum is present shall be regarded 
as the act of the board of directors unless a greater number is required by 
law, by these by-laws or by the certificate of incorporation.

Section 9.  Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation 
or these by-laws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting 
of the board of directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a 
meeting, if all members of the board or committee, as the case may be, 
consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the 
minutes of proceedings of the board or committee.

Section 10.  Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation 
or these by-laws, members of the board of directors, or any committee 
designated by the board of directors, may participate in a meeting of the 
board of directors, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or 
similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating 
in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall 
constitute presence in person at the meeting.

COMMITTEES OF DIRECTORS

          Section 11.  The board of  directors  may,  by  resolution passed 
by a majority of the whole board, designate one or more committees, each 
committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the corporation. The 
board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any 
committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting 
of the committee.

In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or 
members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, 
whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint 
another member of the board of directors to act at the meeting in the place 
of any such absent or disqualified member.

Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the board of 
directors, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the 
board of directors in the management of the business and affairs of the 
corporation, and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to 
all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power 
or authority in reference to amending the certificate of incorporation, 
adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to the 
stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the 
corporation's property and assets, recommending to the stockholders a 
dissolution of the corporation or a revocation of a dissolution, or amending

of incorporation expressly so provide, no such committee shall have the power 
or authority to declare a dividend or to authorize the

be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the board of 
directors.

report the same to the board of directors when required.

or these by-laws, the board of directors shall have the authority to fix the 
compensation of directors. The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, 
of attendance at each meeting of the board of directors and may be paid a 
fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the board of directors or a 
stated salary as director. No such payment shall preclude any director from 
serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation 
therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like 
compensation for attending committee meetings.

REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS

Section 14.  Unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise, if
